Working with Teachers

What should I do if I need to talk to the teacher?
The best way to make initial contact with the teacher is by sending him/her an email communicating that you need to set up a phone conference, in-person conference, or simply ask your question(s) via email.  Please visit our Faculty directory to find your child’s teacher’s conference time. 

Can I e-mail the teacher?
Yes, in fact many teachers appreciate it when parents use this form of communication. You can access a teacher’s e-mail address through the Faculty page.

What should I do if I don’t agree with a class policy or have a concern about something?Please reach out to the teacher and present your concerns open and honestly.  Teachers appreciate the opportunity to hear from you directly, and most questions or issues are worked out at that level.  If, however, you still have concern after talking with the teacher, you may contact the principal or assistant principal. 

I’ve heard there is some kind of transfer policy. What’s that all about?
Students in Deer Park ISD can apply for a transfer to the campus of their choice as long as there is room at that school for additional students in your child’s grade level. Once a transfer has been approved, the student must meet district guidelines regarding (1) attendance, (2) tardiness, and (3) discipline in order to remain at the school.
